The Uncrowned King

by Evership

supported by

Alrihkh Simply put...FANTASTICALLY EPIC!
Evership set the bar very high here. This is a grand creative accomplishment—a ‘Mt. Everest conquered’ type of achievement in melodic prog-rock, a wonderfully-realized concept album that ranks right up there with the best; such as Rush~2112, or NMB~The Similitude of a Dream. A very rich and deeply expressive work. I absolutely love it! This could very well end up being my AOTY. FFO Mystery, Styx, Rush. Thank you, Evership!!!
9.5/10. Favorite track: Yet to come - It might be.

about

The Uncrowned King Act 1 a two-part rock opera based on a story by early-1900s writer Harold Bell Wright.

The album was recorded directly to a Studer two-inch tape machine through an early 70’s Harrison console. Harrison consoles are manufactured here in Nashville. In fact, Shane worked on building some Harrison consoles in his early music career when not on the road. This particular model was the same used to record Kansas’ Leftoverture in Louisianna. The actual console we’re recording through was used by Styx for their first album, as well as many of Johnny Cash’s records and a slew of other 70’s and 80’s pop and country artists. Ah, the sweet sound of analog is always amazing!

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

supported by 40 fans who also own “The Uncrowned King”

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 35 fans who also own “The Uncrowned King”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

Land of Green and Gold (Hi Res 24/48)
by Karfagen

supported by 30 fans who also own “The Uncrowned King”

Ukrainian musician/composer/producer Antony Kalugin is amazingly prolific. Amongs all his other projects this was already the 13th Karfagen album (released in early 2022). Of course, a new one is ready to see the light of day in early 2023 ;-) This album is (as all his stuff) clearly 70s oriented, "golden-era prog", extremely rich in melodies and arrangement ideas. Some jazzy, folky, classical influences included and very well sounding, too :-) Almost disappeared in the deep wishlist 8-o Carsten Pieper

Common Ground
by Big Big Train

supported by 30 fans who also own “The Uncrowned King”

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
